Sorry you are feeling so nauseous and tired. Throwing up blood must have been scary, they think it was from your vitamins?? I have been feeling much better in my second trimester than in my first, the nausea is gone and I'm not as tired although I still feel like I could sleep at any given moment.

My cervix finally stayed the same as of my last peri visit so I hope it continues that way. I have been starting to have some cramping though which makes me REALLY nervous. I go for my growth scan next week so hopefully everything is good.

How far along are you now? Have you told many people yet?

Hey,
I'm doing ok. I'm 18 weeks today and just started the progesterone injections. I go for another ultrasound on Thursday to check the cervix and maybe even find out what I'm having. I still get nervous about every little thing and I'm kind of afraid to let my guard down, but things are going ok right now, no more bleeding scares.
Maybe you just threw up some blood from wretching while vomiting. Hopefully that's all it was and it doesn't happen again
Hang in there, guys!

Just checking in to see how you guys are doing? I'm 19 weeks now and I just found what I'm having....It's a GIRL! My cervix looked good and my pacenta moved further away from the cervix, which is what we were hoping. I go back in a week and then weekly from there for sonos to watch the cervix. My reg OB said if all looks good, we may not have to go every week. As good as that sounds, that totally makes me nervous. I had an ultrasound with the triplets and another one a week and a half later that showed my cervix was down to 0.8 so I am too aware of how quickly things can change. I hope you two are doing ok. Rachel has her beautiful baby girl and Raquel is in the home stretch, we've got two amazing people leading the way on our new path.

Hey, you guys are moving right on up there now!!

We've added all of you to our prayer list and will be praying for all of your little singleton babies! BTW, mndandm, what is your first name? It's awkward to pray for you without knowing this...

I'm figuring that all of you are hitting the pesky 20 week mark -- that scary nowhere land of "nearly there, but not quite." If you feel like staying in bed, do it. If you feel scared, come on over here because we all understand. AND, if anything feels funny or questionable, RUN (or waddle??) straight over to L&D and push for a careful review -- oh, and take your significant other with you, too. Having someone else to fight on your behalf can be very important.

But, be sure to remain hopeful and happy. After all, Rachel made it to 36 weeks. Raquel is fast on her heels -- topping off 31 now. Good things are coming to you and we're all behind you on this.

How is everyone doing? Monique are you starting to feel a little better? Raquel, I am so amazed at your strength for hanging in there for so long! Cindy, how are you?

I saw the peri today and my cervix is down to 2.5. I'm so disappointed, I can't help but feel like my body is failing me AGAIN. We started discussing restrictions and I just don't know how I'm going to do it if things get worse and, at this point, it sounds like they will. He also said we will start steroid shots at 24 weeks which is so scary, I haven't let me mind go to the possibility of having a micro-preemie again. Thanks for listening!

I wanted to offer my encouragement and let all of you know that you remain in our prayers. My children and I pray for all of you. Raquel has spoken with my little ones and knows for a fact that they know little Eliana by name and have all good wishes for she and her baby girl. Please know that we have the same warm hopefulness for all of you, as well.

I remain hopeful that the outcomes for Rachel and Raquel will also serve as encouragement to all of you.
